2.5.3 Determining the Design Membrane Forces

Determining the Design Membrane Forces

The design membrane forces for the abutment of a bridge are determined. For a closer analysis, the grid point No. 1 in surface No. 37 is selected.

The analyzed surface No. 37 has a thickness of 129 cm.

For the design according to EN 1992-1-1, concrete C30/37 and reinforcing steel BSt 500 S (B) are selected in RF-CONCRETE Surfaces.
